Figurative painter Claire Tabouret chosen to design contemporary stained-glass windows for Notre-Dame

"Claire Tabouret has been chosen by President Emmanuel Macron and Archbishop Laurent Ulrich to create new stained-glass windows for six chapels in Notre-Dame, reopening on December 7."

"The selection process involved screening 110 artists, with the Catholic Church insisting on a figurative painter, which led to the exclusion of abstract artists like Daniel Buren."

"The project to create the new windows is expected to take two years, but cultural heritage defenders are planning court opposition against replacing the original windows."
